Courtest of kswiston:
Hardware Shipment Numbers to the Americas
GBA
FY 2002 - 7,570,000
FY 2003 - 7,800,000
FY 2004 - 9,450,000
TOTAL = 24,820,000
3DS
FY 2011 - 1,320,000 (launch shipment)
FY 2012 - 4,670,000
FY 2013 - 4,270,000
FY 2014 - 4,100,000
TOTAL = 14,360,000
It's not even close. Software sales are even more embarrassing. GBA's FY 2005 software shipments were only a few million lower than 3DS's LTD software shipments in the Americas.
GBA absolutely eating the 3DS for lunch. Granted comparing to the DS may just be unfair, but the 3DS is so far behind the GBA here.
